View PricingTypes of Bees That Produce Honey
Honeybees are the most renowned type of bees that produce honey. There are several species of honeybees, but the most common and economically important one is Apis mellifera. These honeybees are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or hives consisting of a queen, drones, and worker bees.
The queen honeybee is generally the only reproductive female in the colony, and her primary role is to lay eggs. The drones, on the other hand, are the male honeybees whose sole purpose is to mate with the queen. The largest population in a honeybee colony is formed by the female worker bees. These workers perform various tasks such as collecting nectar, pollen, and propolis, building and maintaining the hive, and producing honey.
When it comes to honey production, worker bees play a crucial role. They forage for nectar from flowers using their long, tube-like tongues called proboscis. The nectar is then stored in a specialized stomach called the honey stomach or crop. During the process of collecting nectar, worker bees also unintentionally pick up pollen grains, which they transfer from flower to flower, aiding in pollination.
Once the worker bee returns to the hive, it regurgitates the nectar into the mouth of another worker bee through a process called trophallaxis. This unique behavior allows for the transfer of enzymes which initiate the transformation of nectar into honey.
The worker bee then regurgitates the nectar into a cell within the hive's honeycomb. The evaporation of water from the nectar is facilitated by fanning the wings and the creation of air currents within the hive. As the water content reduces, the nectar gradually thickens and becomes honey. The bees seal the cell with wax to preserve the honey.
Honeybees are not the only bees that produce honey. Some species of stingless bees, commonly found in tropical regions, are also capable of producing honey. These bees, belonging to the Meliponini tribe, store their honey in small pots or wax cells within their nests.
Additionally, in some regions of Asia, the giant honeybee (Apis dorsata) is also known for its honey production. These bees build large, single comb nests often seen hanging from tree branches. Harvesting honey from these nests is considered a challenging and dangerous task due to the aggressive nature of the giant honeybees.
